Ah, yes, the Relative Privation Fallacy where you can’t complain about something if someone else has it worse. “Don’t complain about being malnourished. Some people don’t have any food at all.”

Republican Resorts To Whataboutism

She’s right, though. The US’ detention centers and the Hanoi Hilton are hugely different.

“Hey, these detainment centers aren’t Auschwitz, therefore, they aren’t so bad!”

“Sorry but your dad isn’t dead because my dad died of cancer and that’s the only way to die.”

True but torture and human rights abuses are one of the areas where Republican empathy* kicked in, I think there’s a decent chance this is an issue he’d have kicked up a mess over.

This isn't even good scripted outrage bullshit. 

You’re wrong on all counts.

I was having this talk with my partner just yesterday: there are so many of us who are sick of feeling helpless in this war against humans. What can we do? Yes! we want to donate supplies.

Not being able to lift things over your head is torture, but DEAD KIDS apparently a-okay.

Maybe we’re trying to keep the conditions from getting that bad, MEGAN.

Godwin’s law? Probably. “Hey, these detainment centers aren’t Auschwitz, therefore, they aren’t so bad!”

Ah, yes, not being able to lift things over your head is torture but *checks notes* being separated from your children, who are then made to live without beds, blankets, soap, or toothpaste is not.

THE PROCESS, ladies and gentleman.

Fultz makes $23,000 a day. 

Damn. I don’t want to look that great.

Maybe his pudgy arms were simply affecting his release and follow through, and now he’s solved that.
